TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CON CERN:

Be it knoivn that I, lWILLIAM G. OREAMER, of Brooklyn, county `oi' Kings, `in the State of New York, have invented a new and improved mode of resting and protecting the arms of passengers in railroad-cars from being knocked or jostled by persons passing in the aisle; and I do hereby declare that the following isafull and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and t'o the letters of 'reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in attaching to the end ofa railrcarbcar seat or chair, next the aisle, a guard-plate and restcombined, so that the passenger may rest his elbow on the arm of' the seat securely, without having it pushed off by almost .every person whol passes through the aisle of the car, as is now very frequently the case, as is well known by travellers.

To enable others skilled in the arts to make and use my invention, I wviil proceed to describe its construction and operation.

I construct my car-seat on the usual plan, with a reversible back secured to the 'frame of the seat in the usual way. On the end next the aisle of the car I fit acircular metallic rest-plate, 1 and 2, letter A, projecting 4outward from theseat about three inches, at the Widest part, and commencing close to thearm of the seat B.

This forms, in connection with the arm now used, a. comfortable rest for the elbow, about four inches wide. Outside of this plate is an ornamental vertical plate C, about ve inches high, which forms a part of the bottom or rest just described, and which securely protects the arm of the personsitting in the seat from being knocked or jostled by persons passing in the aisle.

I usually make my arm-rest and guard-of cast iron, required design.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Tlie combination with, and attachment to, the seats or chairs of railroad-cars, of anarm-rest and protector, substantially as described and for the purposes mentioned.

'but it may be made of wood or sheet metal of any WILLIAM G. GREAMER.
